Moderat: II DLX version on vinyl 2LP in deluxe edition. This particular edition was published in Germany in publishing company Monkeytown Records on 2. August 2013.

The presenters are Apparat (Sascha Ring) and Modeselektor (Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary). Here a thoughtful sound tinkerer and pop poet, there two techno B-boys. Both bands represent the Berlin electronic scene beyond the straight bass drum. Modeselektor are grandmasters of underground bass and electrifying breakbeats, Apparat are the gentle spirit of electronic pop music. The refusal to settle for the status quo welds all three into an artistic friendship. On their first album in 2008, they defined the Moderat sound. Swinging bass and twitchy beats on the one hand, Apparat's filigree voice on the other: it was this extreme contrast that created Moderat's unique feel. Over the next few years, both groups became internationally renowned artists. With their groundbreaking albums, they defined the electronic sound of the time. Today, this spectrum has grown in emotion and style. The basic mood no longer exists. In eleven tracks, Moderat tells a multifaceted but compact epic. They are seducers and hooligans, pamperers and partiers. In their world, party madness and profundity are not opposites. They leave out no chapter of their electronic and analogue lives. In Clash, these great musical figures show new faces of their character. The result of this meeting is one of the best albums of electronic pop music. Review , "On their second release, the Berlin-based electro supergroup musicalises the moment when the party ends and life begins." (musikexpress, August 2013) "The grooves have power and edge, the loops float in space and are atmospherically dense. (...) If you're looking for the urban sound cluster of 2013: voilà." (Audio, September 2013) ,,Moderat cites everything that's hot at the moment: 2step rhythms, deep house, techno and breakbeats. They have managed to perfectly combine strong bass lines and a cleanly produced sound." (stereoplay, October 2013)
